Finnish goalie is a great competitor with quick reactions, flexibility, and effortless movements in his butterfly. A tad over six foot one, he is very athletic with nice feet, but wastes movements unnecessarily in the heat of battle. Has a decent glove, but will drop some caught pucks and needless kick pucks out into play as he doesn’t possess soft pads yet. Well balanced with good footwork, but is too “noisy” in the ent. Long term prospect that will hear his name called.
